Adaptive Intervention to Prevent Respiratory Illness in Cerebral Palsy: Protocol for a Feasibility Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study will pilot-test an innovative just-in-time adaptive intervention to reduce severe respiratory illness among children with severe cerebral palsy (CP). Our intervention program, Respiratory Exacerbation-Plans for Action and Care Transitions (RE-PACT), delivers timely customized action planning and rapid clinical response when hospitalization risk is elevated.

Objective

This study aims to establish RE-PACT's feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity in up to 90 children with severe CP. An additional aim is to preliminarily estimate RE-PACT's effect size.

Methods

The study will recruit up to 90 caregivers of children with severe CP aged 0 to 17 years who are cared for by a respiratory specialist or are receiving daily respiratory treatments. Participa
